French Code of Criminal Procedure
In forceWhen the sentenced person is detained, the reminder of the obligations to which he or she is subject and which is provided for in the first paragraph of Article R. 61 is made, in the days preceding his release or, in accordance with the provisions of Article 763-7-1, within eight days of the latter, by the sentence enforcement judge under whose supervision the socio-judicial supervision is to be carried out or, on delegation from this judge, by the sentence enforcement judge of the place of detention.
When the convicted person has been reminded of his obligations while still in detention, the enforcement judge under whose supervision the socio-judicial supervision is to be carried out will determine, for the purposes of applying the provisions of article 763-7-1, whether the person will be summoned to appear before him or the prison integration and probation service within eight days of his release. He shall notify this service of his decision.
The convocation notice is given to the convicted offender before his release. In the event of a summons to appear before the prison integration and probation service, this service shall give him this notice or have it given to him.
Where the sentenced person decides to take up habitual residence within the jurisdiction of a court other than the court within whose jurisdiction the prison is located, the enforcement judge of the place of detention shall communicate in good time, and, unless this is impossible, at least two weeks before the person's release, to the enforcement judge competent to supervise the socio-judicial supervision the individual file mentioned in article R. 61-3.
